Thank you, Zac Gorman. You have perfectly summed up the ending of Super Power of the Day. In fact, you've summed up the theme of the entire series.
And in a way, the process of writing the series.
In her book The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin discusses the connection between growth and happiness, arguing "it isn't goal attainment but the process of striving after goals–that is, growth–that brings happiness" (67).
My sister and I had a conversation about her contention last week.
I thought I agreed with Rubin. I usually prefer the striving part of a project. Planning a lesson. Building a house. Writing (editing) a book. Or three. It has truly felt like going on an adventure.
Cindy pointed out that it depends on the project. If the "work" part is unpleasant, the striving is NOT the happy part. Yeah, she's a runner.
In any case, I will finish my (hopefully final) copy edit of SPOTD: The Final Face-Off within hours of writing this blog. It could have been done days ago, but I don't want it–the happiness of the striving–to end. I rather enjoy puzzling out the exact wording or design to tell my story in a simple, beautiful way.
My story about saying yes to adventure.
(The next part is marketing. I suspect that will feel more like a 10k.)
